Asian Cups - All-Time Tables

The Asian Champions' Cup was introduced in the late sixties, but only lasted
four seasons; after a long interruption it was restarted in the mid-eighties.
In 2002 it merged with the Asian Cup Winners' Cup into the AFC Champions League,
which was closed to clubs from "immature" countries after just one season.
Another change in the set-up after the 2008 edition resulted in four guaranteed
entrants for the five "best" member federations (China, Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia
and South Korea).

The AFC Cup was first contested in 2004 and catered for the so-called
"developing" member federations (as opposed to the "mature" ones eligible for
the Champions League and the "emerging" ones relegated to the Presidents Cup).

The Presidents Cup for the weakest, "emerging" member federations was played
for on 10 occasions between 2005 and 2014 before it merged with the AFC Cup.
